The Academy recognizes women's work at Documentary categories while snubs them for best Director

Unfortunately there will be no women nominated for Best director in 2020. Only at the documentary categories, we can find more female representation including Honeyland's nod to Best Foreign Film and Best Documentary.

We celebrate the acknowledgment of Hildur Guðnadóttir's score for Joker and a new nomination for veteran editor, Thelma Schoonmaker for The Irishman.

As regards the main prizes, women have received nominations at both writing categories:

Original Screenplay: 1917

co-writing by Krysty Wilson-Cairns and Sam Mendes

Adapted Screenplay: “Little Women”

Greta Gerwig's fine adaptation has been acknowledged in the Adapted Sreenplay and also for Best Film, Costume Design, Original Score and Main and Supporting actresses.
